Cornwall Council has advised drivers to plan their journeys in advance and to check for updates on traffic conditions before setting out. The medium-severity disruption is expected to cause some congestion, particularly during peak travel times, and drivers are urged to use alternative routes where possible. By doing so, motorists can help to minimise delays and reduce the impact of the closure on the local road network. The council has also reminded drivers to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on road conditions, allowing them to make informed decisions about their journeys.

The closure of Cant Lane is likely to affect not only local residents but also commuters and visitors to the area. As such, drivers are advised to leave extra time for their journeys and to be patient when navigating the alternative routes. Cornwall Council is working to complete the necessary works as quickly as possible, but in the meantime, drivers must take responsibility for planning their routes and allowing for potential delays. The council's efforts to maintain and improve the road network are essential for the safety and convenience of all road users, and drivers are asked to bear with them during this period of disruption.
